| Ken Bernacky Stereo Surgeons Swampwalker,I live in CT now and didn't know Geno was anything, in fact never heard of him?it before reading this thread. I do feel bad for Philiphill for the loss of his 2 tuners. Is there no way to get them back? I guess not if there was you wou... | |
| Red Dragon's new S500 Class D Amp I haven't heard the PASCAL amp module making class D power but I have never loved the sound of the usual class D suspects. I have to say this one looks intriguing and I like it when an amp doubles down into 4 Ohm (like good ole class A). The 12Lb ... | |
| Help - new house - new setup? My thinking is that the best system is the one that sounds the best to you. I can't get overly concerned about the high ceiling absent that issue, the guy just wants to build a system he will like. I say start with whatever loudspeaker you like th... | |
| MHDT Paradesea Repair? New Tube? You can buy a 5670 at the tube depot.com for $4.95 NOS I kid you not. | |
| CR Electronic Design -US/Canada distributor Dothey have retailers, if so try through them. If you must throw in the towel, try Antique Electronic Supply among other such parts dealers. | |
| Primaluna - Rolling pre tubes question... I never invested in a pair of the fancy recent treasure or Psvane tubes believing that they were marketing ploy for Shuguang or Sino brand tubes in a pretty bottle. I had liked the Sino 12AX7 9C version. I think that is it -it is so long since I h... | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice I have no dog in this fight, but even if they share some common parts other elements are usually different. For instance capacitors vary widely with regard to SQ and which resistors you use, and the ratings of those components can differ. They may... | |
| Feeling Old Anne Meara passed away. I too get the feeling that time is moving more quickly than I am. They were married but I think divorced at one point, never the less they continued their comedy routines. Sad news indeed! | |
| Request for assistance please room treatment I am also wondering what exactly your room treatments are trying to fix? There are some holy books out there now. I forget the title but it's something like "Get Better Sound Now" ..??? not sure but you see it mentioned all the time with his advic... | |
| Weird problem. Bad tube or something else? Did you clean the 7308s' pins as well. It sounds like your problem was poor connection between the tubes and your pre. Now that you've cleaned the sockets, do the same with the pins. The sockets were obviously oxidized. If the pins on the EH 6922s... | |
| question about these turntables My father had one in the 60s. It looks like a specialist's shop. I did note that they are trying to reach the audiophile market, I haven't heard one play but think the site is a really cool resource. Do you like 78s?I am tempted to buy one of thei... | |
| Outlaw 975 vs. NAD T163 Do you prefer a warmer sounding amp to a more neutral amp. I am a person who likes a bit of warmth in my amps. I seriously concur with Zd542 on going which the amp that sounds better to you. It is the most critical point in your decision. Don't bu... | |
| Thoughts on Vincent SP-998/ SP-T800 Mono Blocks. Well if there is any potential great synergy, a component system with multiple pieces from the same manufacturer this would be it. It would appear that way anyway, and some Vincent gear has German circuit architecture. I would try it if I was in t... | |
| Primaluna - Rolling pre tubes question... Yes there are classically warm British tubes like the Mullard ECC82, the Philips Miniwatt, Mazda,and even Valvo (which is as likely to be German so be careful, etch code is your ally) and the Mullard Mil Spec 4003.Another British tube that glides ... | |
| Amplifier to power JBL Voice of Theater Speakers The pictures look a lot like Altec Voice Of The Theatre. JBL speakers made early on (I own two pairs) offered cabinet styles and speaker crossover package to fill the cabinets with. So my C36s have the 030 If I recall correctly, using the 15 inch ... |
